I think this needs to be renamed Two Dead Gums and a noisy dog! That darn dog barked the whole time we were there negotiating our way through the swamp! A cute hide - tftc

27-Jul-19
After looking in the obvious spot (where i’m sure that the cache had previously been) without success, I broadened my search and found the container on the ground in the grass a few metres away. It was intact and both the container and logbook were in good condition, so I returned it to where I think it had come from.

Thanks Cache_ISM for the cache.

31-Mar-19
A quick find in a nice quiet area with parrots screeching above. They were the only Muggles watching me here today as i SL at 13:03 on Sun 31 March 2019.

The log within is dry [^]

26-Dec-18
Visiting from Melbourne and took the chance tonight to head out and grab some caches, it's too hot to sleep anyway! A quick find here in this lovely little park area, tftc!
 
14-Dec-18
I was in the area today finding a previous DNF and this one was close so I thought I would come and get this one too. [^]
The name of the cache was a dead giveaway and the cache was soon found. Big Grin
Sadly though the container is wet and the log very damp. I was able to stamp it but it probably needs to be in a zip lock bag to keep it dry.
Thanks for the cache Cache_ISM. Smile
 
12-Dec-18
Having to head out north for some personal business I decided to do some caching whilst out there as well. It was an enjoyable afternoon finding numerous caches, it helps when you are in an area you haven’t cached before. All caches were found in good order.

TFTC Smile

Nice piece of wilderness. The clue's in the name. Log wet, but managed to scratch my our name onto it. Tftc
 
09-Nov-18
This one was on the list for today due to all the FP it has. Found quickly and TBH wasn’t sure why all the points perhaps the cache has evolved over time. Still nice to find and well hidden TFTC
 
Nice tftc
 
21-Oct-18
Today's plan was to go out and finish off my D/T grid. Since I had 4 bob puzzles solved within the area and 2 of them would make this mission successful I decided I would make a nice and lengthy walk out of the and collect some other caches along the way.
Looked in the obvious and found the cache TFTC
 
12-Oct-18
Fun and quick, quite obvious for a trained eye
 
01-Oct-18

07-Apr-18
Out with Getnict for the day getting the planetary points. Targeting puzzles and caches with 10+ Favs.

Had us branching out before looking higher than eye level, perfect container for a perfect fit
 
14-Mar-18
A nice easy park and grab. Pretty dry here today, it light look a bit nicer in the cooler weather.

20-Feb-18
Another Tuesday Trekking day out with Mrs. S.A. Sewer Rats. Cool Today's target was to go and find some Multi caches and more puzzles but of course any others that were in the vicinity of those target caches. [8)]
Another quick cache for me to get a little unfound one in the middle of a swath of found caches. Razz Don't know why I hadn't picked this one up earlier. Wandered down to GZ for a very, very quick find the obvious spot. Smile

**Thanks Cache_ISM for this cache. ** Big Grin

Found #1649.

This afternoon, I went to Hope Valley for an appointment. After that, I found this cache, as it's close by.

Parked around the corner, and walked to GZ. With the help of title, I quickly found the cache. Nice cache container.

Signed the log, and placed it back.

Thanks for the cache, Cache_ISM.

It wasn't missing.
The cache is still where it has always been. Hid a new container because I had it all ready to go anyway.
 
12-Mar-17
Had a report that the cache is MIA.
New one on the way.
 
26-Feb-17
Out for the afternoon with Purrfect Di.
Last time I looked at this park it was very flooded.
This time, it looks as if the council is working on flood control,
with many piles of dirt around!
But cache was quickly spotted by Di in a high and dry place.

A birthday cache find today during my lunch break. I was going to be both occupied later in the evening, and drastically overdressed for caching, and as such I ventured out to the North East from my office in the middle of the day to take care of my streak cache. Luckily, this one was found quickly enough, with the tell tale camo giving the location away. TFTC Cache_ISM!
 
27-Sep-16
Made this find before the storm of the century hits over the next few days. A bit wet from the last storm but manageable. Thanks
 
30-Aug-16
Yes, GZ gets very wet in winter. I Took this photo in June which shows the two gums surrounded by water.
I haven't seen the creek like this in over 30 years. Probably a cache for summer, unless you own some waders.
 
30-Aug-16
I would recommend this one for the summer months; I didn't have the appropriate footwear to squelch around to look for this one, so I'll try again next time I'm in the area in the summer, when it is dry.
 
05-Jun-16
checked today and the cache was MIA. Replaced with a new one. Happy caching Big Grin

Bring your own pen.
 
25-May-16
Sadly the heavy rain had a small flood around GZ.
might come back when it's not so damp!
Thanks for the challenge Cache_ISM
will place on the watch list and return asap!
 
19-May-16
I can see where it should be by the log but no here anymore i dont think can owner check
